[PATCH 4.5 091/124] mac80211: fix txq queue related crashes

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Sun Apr 17 2016 - 23:15:55 EST


4.5-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Michal Kazior <michal.kazior@xxxxxxxxx>

commit 2a58d42c1e018ad514d4e23fd33fb2ded95d3ee6 upstream.

The driver can access the queue simultanously
while mac80211 tears down the interface. Without
spinlock protection this could lead to corrupting
sk_buff_head and subsequently to an invalid
pointer dereference.

Fixes: ba8c3d6f16a1 ("mac80211: add an intermediate software queue implementation")
